Project Panther

[BP_Z28]

Well why not get a project topic started

March 25th, 2011 purchased our 1998 Z28 from a sterling heights ford dealership. Very clean, minimal rust on the underbody.



This will be a slow project through the year. Saving up for a house. Would of bought everything I want in the future install list..buuttt.... Bought a ring , plan on popping the question to Trisha real soon and that is way more important than car parts.


No this Camaro will not be a track car, just a bolt on and then some. Will plan for the cam/heads through out the year. Trying to do my own thing with the apperance to stand out..but its damn near impossible with a 4th gen . Going for a gunmetal/black theme. One day hope to have this car down the road and pass it down to Antonio. Want to get most of the mods out of the way so this car can be all set from him. To the engine mods,suspension,rear end. etc etc

Any advise,help,comments is appreciated!


Heres how the Camaro looks like present day

Also, is it just me or are the posted pictures kind of messed up?

Just back out and re click the topic. They go back to the shrinked size











































































































Here some pictures of what I have right now. Couple items are still boxed up. But this is what I remembered most off the top of my head. Still awaiting my founders stuff, and the corsa clones to come in.






Crappy photo of the fuel rail covers (they look 1000000x better in person)





Etched emblem. Says Panther

Getting it to sit a bit lower might be nice along with the other round shiny things you're going to buy

Looks good but I was kinda disappointed when I opened the thread. When you said panther I instantly thought Panther Pink haha.

Good looking mod list. Just need to add a converter to the top. Best bang for the buck you can get with an A4 car!

Awesome, looking good Rolo! I kept seeing updates on this car but was curious on the details of it, I'll be keeping posted!

The list of mods looks almost as sexy as the car itself

Clones have arrived. Thats pretty much everything in. I want these to be black and got quoted $30 to get them both powder coated...but heard its only good to 280*..would that hold up for just the tips?

Not the best pic. But somewhat installed new headlights. Driver side is going in rough, cant get the damn thing to slide in that mini bracket, got one little square in just cant get the other. So called it a day before I break something. But heres some quick pics.



Thinking about getting the corsa clones welded on tomorrow.
